Preschool has started in the Mills household! First time for everything is just around the corner! We are so excited to send Layla to part time preschool and couldn't be more proud of her adjustment to her new life.

It is hard for this Mommy to let her go throughout the day but I have adjusted to accepting my beauty has to grow up and take a step toward her education.

We are so proud of her and can't stop bragging of how well she is doing in school. New friends, milestones, and endless adventures await our little thrill seeker!

So I came across this post on http://reavespartyofthree.blogspot.jp/ to interview your kids every year around their birthday, and OMG what a great idea!

I just finished one for Layla for her 3rd birthday and finally had some time to post it for you...

I loved seeing her sit down while I interviewed her with these questions...

I will make a cute little book and insert these questions every year around her birthday time... Feel free to copy/paste and start your own traditions with your little ones! Enjoy! Thanks for stopping by!

Truly, the most generous man I know is my husband. He is such a hard working, lovable and caring person. There's nobody he can't befriend. I am so thankful that he is my life partner. My best friend in love, life and crime. HA!

I thought being married to my best friend was amazing, and to become a mother just adds sparkle to my shine! We couldn't ask for a more amazing daughter, (now 3 years old). We can hardly keep up with her growing everyday. Seems like just last year, we brought her home! She has taught us so much about ourselves and has given us so much to be proud of.

Quality time at Disneyland...

I enjoy my days chasing my daughter around, being a chauffeur, nurse, chef, mentor and most of all... her best friend! We spend our days together going to Mommy and Me Preschool in Palos Verdes, Swim Classes, seasonal crafting, park play dates and endless Disneyland visits! I'm so thankful to my husband for encouraging me to be a 'Stay at Home Mom.' I will forever be grateful and never will regret using this special time watching her grow!

In prep of my daughter's 3rd birthday coming up in March, I crafted this lovely Disney birthday banner to hang inside of our hotel room!

It's not a surprise to her since she's been watching me craft the whole thing, but since I'm hiding it, she will still be surprised. Her favorite characters included, Doc McStuffins, and Ariel!

First, I cut out all of the lettering pieces using my Cricut, and pasted them together...

Then added glitter ribbon in Teal and Purple to attach lettering...

Voila! Easy enough right?

I think the hardest part is to design it, and getting the measurements accurate! I printed out the Disney character pics on same card stock as the lettering, DONE! With just a little imagination, anything is possible! Keep crafting people, it exercises your mind and always keeps you young at heart!

I've done a few that I will definitely share and give instructions for as best I can!Few things to know about me... My name is Nathalie. I am a SAHM (Stay at Home Mom) to an incredible daughter and a magnificent housewife to a handsome man... I am such a huge Disney fan!!I find it extremely hard to start my day WITHOUT coffee, and I don't know how people can start their day any other way. It's just my sickness.
